The Xianbei cavalry was led by Qi Hong and Liu Kun.

After crossing half of the Luoshui River Valley, it turned north, passed the mountain road slowly, and then ran all the way, and it took more than half a month to reach Hongnong, almost reaching the front and back feet of the north road.

In the mountainous area of western Henan, the cavalry is rushing to the egg!

It's especially funny when you walk in a line on a mountain road. There were not two hundred horses that fell into the valley, but more than a hundred, and the Xianbei people had already lost money before they could fight.

They didn't stay too long in Hongnong, and even refused the banquet of Du Du Mi Huang.

Qi Hong is the chief secretary of Wang Jun's shogunate, and he is not a person from Luoyang's group of generals, he is just a "guest general" who came to help the boxer, and he didn't plan to give Mi Huang face at all.

Liu Kun was the shogunate of King Fanyang.

He wanted to meet a palace general named Shao Xun, because this man's reputation in the Shogunate of King Fanyang was "thunderous"—not a good reputation.

The Xuchang arsenal case is the biggest dumb loss that King Fan Yang has suffered for so many years.

If Xuchang is broken by Liu Qiao's father and son, it will be enough to plunder the armor, but the Xuchang arsenal was robbed by the "friendly army", how not to make people angry!

King Fan Yang privately dropped the vase and asked if there was a way to kill the man.

As soon as these words came out, everyone understood that Shao Xun couldn't be moved on the surface, so they could only think of some pickled methods such as assassination.

Liu Kun really didn't want to get involved in this matter, he was only interested in Shao Xun's long-distance attack and beheading Liu You.

In the states of the Central Plains, there are few people who use cavalry so handily, but this person was only eighteen years old at the time, which is shocking.

It is rumored that Shao Xun has been taught various skills by gods.

In this regard, there are still many people who believe in this, Liu Kun knows a person who specializes in writing strange records, and even recorded this kind of rumor, and wrote a commentary of more than 1,000 words, citing scriptures and classics, and taking care of things.

Some people also say that Shao Xun is a man from heaven who descended to earth, traveled through a lifetime of red dust, and then returned to heaven.

Liu Kun was skeptical about this, and at the same time became more and more curious, wanting to meet him and see if the rumors were true or false.

Such a young general who shines on the battlefield, for Liu Kun, who has always liked soldiers, it would be a pity to miss the opportunity to make friends.

Unfortunately, he is not the main general.

The five thousand Xianbei cavalry only listened to Qi Hong, and they wouldn't even pay attention to the military orders of the governor Mi Huang. So, after a little supply, he could only regretfully give up the opportunity to meet Shao Xun, continue to march, and go straight to Huxian and Tongguan.

Sima Hao deployed soldiers and horses here: Hongnong Taishou Peng Sui and Beidi Taishou Diao Mo combined more than 20,000 troops to resist the eastern soldiers.

Yes, there is also Hongnong Taishou under Sima Hao's account, and Gaiyinhu County, Tongguan, and Huayin all belong to Hongnong County geographically, and have been controlled by Guanzhong soldiers for several years.

But the morale of the defenders was low and their fighting spirit was insufficient.

There is no doubt that this is the sequelae of killing Zhang Fang.

Sima came too quickly, and he didn't give Sima Hao time to regroup his army. The five thousand Xianbei cavalry traveled day and night, and they didn't want to stay when they were in Hongnong County, so they rushed over directly.

Outrageously, Sima Hao also added some material to the defenders: after Sima Yue refused to negotiate peace, he regretted it and angered Bi Yuan and Zhi Fu, but Bi Yuan was the "Hejian Crown Clan", even if the idea of killing Zhang Fang was from him, he couldn't add to the crime, so he could only behead Zhi Fu who had no heels to vent his hatred.

In this way, the morale of the Western Army, which was not high, suddenly worsened.

Tongguan is in danger.

******

On the first day of June, the main army left Hongnong in batches.

Mi Huang and Shao Xun walked side by side.

"As soon as Sikong was defeated in Xiao County, Chen Min used the excuse of recruiting troops, and after returning home, he seized Jiangdong and rebelled, and he has not been pacified so far." Mi Huang said.

The mountains on both sides of the post road are lush and full of flowers, just like the situation of Sima Yue with flowers and cooking oil with fire. But there are also hidden worries in the good news, that is, the rebellion of Liu Bogen in Qingzhou and Chen Min in Yangzhou.

The rebellion of the Heavenly Master Dao set off by Liu Bogen has been quelled by the Xianbei cavalry sent by Wang Jun.

Chen Min's rebellion intensified.

Speaking of which, this is still Sima Yue's pot.

When Zhang Changbu sent Shi Bing to Yangzhou, it set off a huge turmoil, and in the end, Chen Min led his troops to seek peace.

Xuzhou sealed the clouds and made a rebellion, Chen Minfu led his troops to seek peace, and accumulated merit and was promoted to Guangling Xiang.

Sima Yue came out of Xuzhou and summoned Chen Min to his side as the forward governor.

After Xiao County was defeated by Liu Qiao, Chen Min saw through the essence of Sima Yue's straw bag, and used the excuse of going back to help him recruit troops, and never returned.

Then came the division and rebellion.

In fact, the Jiangnan clan doesn't mind having another Sun Ce.

Unfortunately, now the Great Jin Dynasty still has a bit of prestige, and its strength has not weakened to the extreme, Chen Min's family background is average, and there are not many scholars who are willing to cooperate with him, but Sun Ce can't do it.

But it is impossible to seek peace without fighting, and now it can only be taught by Liu Hong, a loyal minister of the Great Jin Dynasty and the governor of Jingzhou.

"It's a lot of things in all directions." Mi Huang sighed.

To be honest, he also has a bit of a slander against the main company, Ma Yue.

Chen Min's rebellion could have been avoided. If Liu Qiao's father and son are defeated in Xiao County, will Chen Min be able to return to Jiangdong? Can't go back!

Moreover, with this great victory, Chen Min's ambitions will also be suppressed.

Helplessly, the battle was defeated, not only did Chen Min run back to rebel, but the Xianbei cavalry invited also plundered Yuzhou and committed countless crimes.

Even, Mi Huang's suspicion of Qingzhou Liu Bogen's rebellion was also related to Sikong's successive military defeats.

To put it bluntly, the prestige is too low, and it is a little overwhelming.

"What is the Governor's plan? The Xizhou army was in turmoil, and it was not difficult to hit it. After winning, have you ever thought about becoming an official in Guanzhong? Shao Xun asked.

He looked at the words and found that Mi Huang was a little disappointed.

Of course, this level will not shake Mi Huang's loyalty to Sima Yue.

No matter how disappointed he is, he will do his best. It's just that the embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in the anthill, and many things start with a little disappointment, so wait slowly.

"It's impossible in Guanzhong." Mi Huang shook his head and said, "If Chen Min is out of this matter, most of the Guanzhong will be given to a certain sect king." Even if someone is left to guard the town, it will be short-term, and after the situation is determined, it will be handed over to King Zong to leave the town. If I can really win this battle, I will probably enter the court as an official. Sikong lacks people in the court, and he can't rely on Wang Yifu for everything. ”

Entering the court as an official? How can there be a separatist party! But being promoted to the court is also a normal promotion, and Mi Huang himself is not resistant, so there is no way.

"Don't just ask me, what about you?" Mi Huang glanced at Shao Xun and said.

"If you haven't made an inch, how can you talk about this." Shao Xun said with a smile.

Mi Huang also smiled: "Looking at Qi Hong, Liu Kun and others, you have to make some contributions, I'm afraid it's not easy." ”

"There's always a chance." Shao Xun said: "The Xianbei people are going to Chang'an, as long as the Western Army does not provoke them, most of them will be fine." ”

"Ugh." Mi Huang sighed.

The soldiers invited were unruly and difficult to control, and they couldn't command at all, so they couldn't do anything.

The deployment of the Western Army is now clear.

There are three lines of defense.

The first is in the territory of Hongnong, with more than 20,000 soldiers of Peng Sui and Diao Mo.

The second line of defense is in Huayin, and most of them are old generals in Hebei, such as Lianxiu and Shi Chao, etc., with few soldiers and more than 10,000 soldiers.

The third line of defense is in the Bashui area, commanded by two generals, Ma Zhan and Guo Chuan, and the strength of the army is unknown.

Last night, the two had a banquet and chatted.

Shao Xun believes that if the first line of defense is broken, there will be no hope for the future.

After Tongguan, a horse and a flat river, no longer have a geographical advantage. Considering the general low morale of the western soldiers and the absolute disadvantage in terms of troops, this battle really did not have to be fought.

"How's that Dock Fort?" Mi Huang asked again.

As he said this, his gaze fell on the thousand sergeants behind Shao Xun.

Four hundred of them led their horses on foot.

Horses carry armor and crossbow machines, and heavy swords and ring-headed knives on their backs.

Looking at their appearance, they were fierce and difficult to control, and there was no one in their eyes, but they followed closely behind Shao Xun, and they followed suit.

In another person, I am afraid it will be difficult to command this group of arrogant soldiers.

There are also 600 soldiers, who seem to be a short-lived silver spear army in the defense of Luoyang, and the leader is named Jin San, and Mi Huang has even seen it.

These 600 people lined up in a neat queue and walked seriously, which was completely different from the 400 people in front of them.

Among the six hundred people, there was a mixture of old and new, about one-third of the veterans and two-thirds of the new soldiers.

The veteran is comparatively more calm and calm, and does not squint.

Recruits like to sneak around with their peripheral vision, appearing very curious, until the officer with the flag on his back smashes it with a scabbard.

The men's equipment was placed on the baggage vehicle behind.

Mi Huang noticed that everyone had a pair of iron armor, a spear, a ring-headed knife, a foot bow, and a number of miscellaneous instruments.

Who believes that these people are the banker's subordinates?

Thinking of the Xuchang arsenal case, Mi Huang didn't know what to say.

"The cloud dock has been completed, and the Kinmen dock can be completed before the winter. Danshanwu will wait until next year, and money and food are really scarce. Shao Xun replied.

Mi Huang nodded, and said after a while: "After defeating Sima Hao, where do you want to go, tell me." I'll send you over, just don't make too much of a fuss. ”

"Thank you." Shao Xun waved on horseback to express his gratitude.

Mi Huang, a good old man, should have felt the undercurrent under the calm lake.

In his heart, he should be very hesitant.

"Governor." Shao Xun said again: "The Pei family built a dock fort in the east of Shaanxi County, haven't you thought about it?" ”

Mi Huang heard this, slightly dazed.

He really hadn't thought about what to do in the future.

There are some things that I really don't want to think about. In his heart, Sikong defeated the King of Hejian, swept Guanzhong, and then suppressed the rebellion of Chen Min in Yangzhou, which seemed to be generally peaceful.

Since then, Sikong has been ruling in the court, and they have been promoted to make a fortune and leave their names in history, isn't it good?

But if you think about it, this kind of good wish is more like a castle in the air, and it is not realistic.

They are not fledgling newcomers, they have long passed the age of fantasies, so why deceive themselves?

Shao Xun's question made Mi Huang's heart slightly lively.

The Pei family has built a dock fort in Hongnong, what are you still hesitating about?

On the fourth day of the sixth month, the army arrived at Taolinsai, that is, near the former site of Qinhan Valley Pass.

At this time, news came from the front, Peng Sui and Diao Mo led the army to Huxian.

Because the sergeant fled to the Japanese, he had no choice but to carry the whole army into battle, but was crushed by the Xianbei cavalry in a battle, and the whole army was annihilated.

Qi Hong and others took advantage of the situation to enter Zhanhu County, enter Tongguan, and then run to Huayin, all the way unimpeded.

When Mi Huang heard this, he ordered to speed up the march.

Five days later, Shao Xun, as the vanguard of the Chinese army, led his troops into Tongguan and officially set foot on the land of Guanzhong.

That night, he met a messenger from Yiyang, and after a conversation, he was immediately furious: Fuck your uncle, which Xianbei trampled on my seedlings? I immediately began to think about how to find an opportunity to put others together.
